Ajit loves all the songs in Aegan.
Come to our ears soon...
Destination Alps for Ajith
According to reports, the unit is planning to leave Chennai on Monday and will return in a week's time.
Raju Sundaram, the director of the movie himself will be choreographing this soft romantic melody tuned by Yuvan Shankar Raja. 'Aegan' is being produced by Ayngaran International.
It may be recalled that Ajith and Asin had been to Alps last year to shoot a song for 'Azhwar'. The movie directed by Chella had a song shot in the snow capped Alps.
Ajith nears his half-century
Interestingly Vijay's 48th film is 'Villu' and is directed by Prabhudeva. His next would be 'Vettaikaran' followed by his 50th film to be produced by his father S A Chandrasekharan. The director is still to be finalised.
The fact that two popular heroes of Tamil cinema nearing their 50th film is a moment to cherish for their fans.
Ajith is a don now
The shooting of this film will start on 1 November. Ajith has been impressed a lot with Goutham Menon's script with a difference from others.
The film is about a middle class youth who becomes a dreaded don in the world, while Sameera Reddy will plays his ladylove. The film will have music by Harris Jayaraj, and camera is by Ajith's favourite Nirav Shah, who cranked the camera for 'Billa', will handle cinematography.
The movie is produced by Sivaji Productions.
Ajith to play dual roles in remake of 'Race'
|
Ashok Amritraj, is not only a successful Hollywood producer but has also made his presence felt in the Tamil film industry with 'Jeans'. He is currently interested in remaking the Hindi film 'Race' with Ajith Kumar in the lead.
The Hindi original had two brothers played by Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Khanna double-crossing each other which eventually leads to their downfall. Ajith was so impressed with the storyline that he immediately gave the approval to cast him. Not only that, he also evinced interest to perform both the roles.
It can be recalled that Ajith played the roles of brothers in 'Valee' which went on to be the start of the dynamic career that he is having. The other film that he did dual roles (again brothers) was in 'Villain' directed by K. S. Ravikumar. Ajith bagged awards for both 'Valee' directed by S. J. Suryah and 'Villain'.
Is the Tamil remake of 'Race', which is about racing (another passion of Ajith), going to get him similar kind of accolades? Let's wait and see.
The film will commence once Ajith's 'Aegan' is released.
'Ajith is a noble-hearted man' - Jayaram
"Ajith is a man of integrity and principle. He is a thorough professional and a truthful person", says actor Jayaram.
The noted Malayalam actor is sharing the screen with Ajith in ‘Aegan’ and was completely bowled over by Ajith's amiable nature on the sets of ‘Aegan’, which is directed by Raju Sundaram.
"Ajith speaks less on the sets, but is very friendly. People may speak badly about him at his back. Only when they interact with him, they would understand that he is a matured human being", Jayaram said.
"He speaks from his heart and never hides any facts. A man of integrity, he is an actor youngsters can emulate", adds Jayaram.
‘Aegan’, produced by Ayngaran Internationals, features Nayantara opposite Ajith. Major portions of the movie have been completed and the movie would hit the screens this September.
Ajith goes to college
Ajith is busy shooting for 'Aegan', directed by Raju Sundaram. The film is produced by Ayngaran International and features Nayantara opposite him.
Following the successes of 'Varalaru' and 'Billa', Ajith is confident that 'Aegan' would also do well at the box office. Noted Malayalam actor Jayaram plays a prominent role in the film.
Jayaram plays the principal in the college that Ajith studies in. Interestingly Nayantara plays the role of a college lecturer.
Jayaram says 'Aegan' will have some rib tickling comedy.
'The comedy portion has come out great. Sathyan is the other actor who will have you in splits', he adds.
'Aegan' will hit screens this September.
Ajith might be Akbar?
Ajith’s Billa is now almost ready and if everything goes on well as expected then the movie might make it just in time for Diwali.
With this being so, projects seem to be knocking at Ajith’s doors. If sources are to be believed, then the actor’s next project could very well be for London Karunas’ Ayngaran Films.
Earlier, rumours were afloat in the Kollywood circles that Prabhu Deva would direct the movie. Well, now the focus has shifted to his elder brother Raju Sundaram. Gossip mills have it that when Raju approached Ajith with a story he seemed to have liked it and has given a go ahead signal. And the latest heart-throb, Shriya, could be Ajith’s arm candy in this film.
The movie is tentatively titled as Akbar, according to our sources and all details are expected to be announced formally in a few days. If everything falls in place, then Akbar may start rolling from December.
What is Aegan?
'Aegan' to storm in September

Ajith Aegan set to release to August 15
Suman and Jayaram playing important roles in the film. Navdeep who made his debut as an actor for the film Arindhum Ariyamalum plays the role of Ajith’s brother in the movie. The film’s shooting began by last month and will be completed within next two months. Director Raju Sundaram and producer Karuna of Ayangaran Films have decided to release the film on August 15.
The film will be scripted and directed by Raju Sundaram, who choreographed for more than 1000 songs in his career as a dance master. S Ramakrishnan pens the dialogues for Aegan, who has already written for films like Sandakozhi, Baba and etc.
Veteran actors Suhasini Manirathnam, Jayaram, Suman, Nasser, M.S.Baskar and Sriman are also in the cast. Arinthum Ariyamalum fame Navdeep, one of the young heroes of the industry is also playing a crucial role in this movie.
Nayantara prays to God
After shooting a song sequence for the Vishal-starrer Sathyam in Tenkasi, the highest paid actress in the South headed straight to the Nellaiappar temple, which dates back to 700 AD and was built for Shiva and Parvathi (the consort to Lord Shiva) by the Pandyan kings. The unit members were surprised with the sudden change in her programme.
But why did she make this sudden visit? Possibly because she was nearby and possibly because she is about to join the Ajith-starrer Aegan unit in Yercaud.
It is the second time that the actress has visited this temple in which Lord Vishnu and sage Agastya are believed to have worshipped Shiva. Nayantara's first visit to the temple was a few years ago while she was shooting for the film Ayya, her debut venture.
Aegan Songs Status
There are totally five songs which are being penned by Paa. Vijay, Yuga Bharathi, Naa.Muthukumar, Kapilan and Snehan. Music is being composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja and out of the five songs, two are ready with its music. The remaining songs are also being readied one by one. Industry sources reveal that music is shaping up very well and is sure to be liked by one and all.
Aegan goes to Yercaud!
Ajit is planning to drive down to Yercaud for the shoot with his family. Shalini and Anushka too can get away from the burning 'Kathiri' heat of Chennai and chill out in the cool surroundings of the hill station.
The Aegan unit will be shooting in Yercaud, for the next three weeks. After this schedule nearly 90 percent of the film will be over. Two more songs will be shot most likely in England and Spain and with that the film will be ready for an August 15 release.
'Aegan' gets the service of Prabhudeva
The dance moves led by Hrithik Roshan and his group of dancers in a song in the Bollywood film 'Lakshya' which fetched Prabhudeva the national award for the best choreographer is enough to speak of the capacity of the so called boneless wonder.
He makes sure that he leaves a stamp of unmatched perfection and grace in each of the songs for which he does the duty of the dance master.
It will not be an exaggeration if said that people watch the songs not only to see the hero and heroines but also to see the beautiful movements of bodies moving in unison envisaged by this talented guy.
Film makers who want the dancing wizard's service for their films are not always lucky given that the person in news has got very busy these days with a super hit film 'Pokkiri' under his belt as a director and its soon to be released Hindi remake.
Prabhudeva’s untitled future project with Ilaya Thalapathi Vijay and Nayantara will have Ravi Varman, the acclaimed cinematographer of films like 'Anniyan', 'Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu' and the magnum opus 'Dasavatharam' who is now wrapping up his first directorial venture 'Moscowin Kaveri' wielding the camera and Devi Sri Prasad composing the music.
So in such a busy time Raju Sundaram gets the golden goose to help him out in his high profile 'Aegan' starring the ultimate star Ajith after his block buster 'Billa'.
Raju Sundaram, brother of Prabhudeva who himself is a known choreographer cum actor doesn't want to leave any stones to be left out when his debut directorial venture is concerned.
So his call to his brother to choreograph a song in 'Aegan' which will be shot in Tekkady was heard by Prabhudeva in spite of being fully engaged.
Raju Sundaram must not have thought much about his brother's busy schedule as he knows that Prabhudeva does not need much time to come out with never before seen steps and great ideas to make a song perfect and spicy.
